________________________/
Case No. 1:24-cv-726
HON. JANE M. BECKERING
ORDER
This is a civil rights action brought by a state prisoner under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter
was referred to the Magistrate Judge, who issued a Report and Recommendation on January 27,
2026 (ECF No. 35), recommending that this action be dismissed with prejudice for Plaintiff’s
failure to prosecute. The Report and Recommendation was duly served on the remaining parties.1
No objections have been filed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Accordingly:
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 35) is
APPROVED and ADOPTED as the Opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED with prejudice for
Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute.
1 Service of the Report and Recommendation on Plaintiff was returned, marked “return to sender,”
“not deliverable as addressed,” “unable to forward,” and “paroled/discharged” (ECF No. 40). On
the same day the returned mail was received, the Court issued an Order (ECF No. 38) directing
the Clerk of Court to serve a copy of the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 35) on Plaintiff
at his new address and extending the deadline for Plaintiff to file any objections.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the pending motions (ECF Nos. 32 & 37) are dismissed
as moot.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3)
that an appeal of this decision would not be taken in good faith because Plaintiff failed to file any
objections. 	See McGore v. Wrigglesworth, 114 F.3d 601, 610-11 (6th Cir. 1997), overruled on
other grounds by Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199, 206, 211-12 (2007).
A Judgment will be entered consistent with this Order.
